WONDER YEAR: The Guided Meditations

• Welcome to Your WONDER YEAR

  Starting something new can bring up all kinds of questions. Do I really have time for this? Am I good enough? Is this selfish? This introductory meditation creates space to acknowledge those doubts while establishing something foundational: you have full permission to be here. We'll explore what sustained creative practice actually looks like, visualize the natural rhythm of beginning and deepening, and help you identify a guiding intention for the year ahead.REFLECTION QUESTION → What quality or intention do you want to cultivate through this year of practice?AFFIRMATION → I belong here / This time is mineWANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice. We’d love to have you <3

• MOVING FORWARD

  You're approaching the end of a year of focused creative development—not an ending, but a transition into something new. This meditation helps you recognize what you've cultivated over time, understand what self-directed practice means, and visualize your continued growth. We'll explore what supports continuity moving forward and help you make commitments based on genuine interest rather than obligation.REFLECTION QUESTIONS → What capacities have you developed this year that feel most significant or valuable?AFFIRMATION → I am my own compassWANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice.

• SOLITUDE-COMMUNITY RHYTHM

  Creative work requires two movements: going inward into solitude and reaching outward into community. Neither is better than the other—what matters is learning to sense which one you need in the moment. This meditation helps you feel the gifts each offers, recognize the signals that you need more of solitude or connection, and trust your own rhythm.REFLECTION QUESTIONS → What signs tell you when to seek solitude? When to seek community?AFFIRMATION → Community and solitude / Both are sacred movementsWANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice.

• WITNESS YOUR WORK

  What does it mean to document our work in witnessing mode rather than performative mode? This meditation helps you practice being a witness of your own process—noticing your choices, responses to difficulty, and surprises without immediate judgment. When you document from genuine witnessing, you create records that serve your learning and, when shared, have a greater chance of helping other makers because the messy reality of making resonates deeply.REFLECTION QUESTIONS → What's the difference for you between judging your process and witnessing it?AFFIRMATION → I see my work with kind eyes / What I notice becomes wisdomWANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice.

• HOLDING QUESTIONS

  Some questions close quickly—you answer them and move on. But other questions open outward, revealing more complexity and interest the longer you explore them. This meditation helps you identify questions worthy of sustained inquiry and practice holding them open rather than rushing to resolution. Series work isn't repetition; it's sustained investigation that builds intimacy with what genuinely matters to you.REFLECTION QUESTIONS → How does "holding a question open" rather than "answering a question" feel to you?AFFIRMATION → I return to the same question / Each time from a new heightWANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice.
